Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

At Synthmart, we collect only the information necessary to provide you with a seamless, conscious shopping experience. This includes:

• Personal identifiers: Name, email address, shipping/billing address, phone number.
• Payment details: Processed securely via third-party gateways (we never store full credit card numbers).
• Order history & preferences: Products viewed, saved items, and past purchases to improve recommendations.
• Technical data: IP address, browser type, device information, and cookies for site functionality.
• Communications: Customer support inquiries, newsletter interactions, and feedback.

2. How We Use Your Information

Every piece of data serves a clear purpose rooted in serving you better:

• ✅ Process and fulfill orders, including shipping updates and returns.
• ✅ Personalize your shopping experience and share curated slow-living content.
• ✅ Improve our website, product selection, and customer support.
• ✅ Send promotional emails (only with your explicit opt-in consent).
• ✅ Prevent fraud, ensure security, and comply with legal obligations.

We will never use your information for intrusive profiling or sell it to third parties. Your data remains yours.

3. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Synthmart uses essential cookies to enable core functionality (cart, checkout, login). We also use analytics cookies (via privacy-friendly platforms) to understand how visitors interact with our site, which helps us enhance your experience. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect site performance.

4. Sharing & Third Parties

We never sell your personal data. However, we share limited information with trusted partners who help operate our store, strictly under confidentiality agreements:

• Shipping carriers (e.g., USPS, DHL) to deliver your order.
• Payment processors (Stripe, PayPal) — they handle payment data without storing on our servers.
• Email service provider for newsletters (you can unsubscribe anytime).
• Legal compliance: If required by law or to protect our rights.

All third parties are vetted for GDPR/CCPA compliance and data security.

5. Data Security & Retention

We implement industry-standard safeguards, including SSL encryption, firewalls, and restricted access to personal data. Your information is retained only as long as necessary: order data for 7 years (tax/accounting purposes), customer profiles until account deletion, and marketing data until you withdraw consent. We regularly review our security practices.

6. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location (e.g., California, EU, UK, Brazil), you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Access: Request a copy of the data we hold about you.
• Correction: Update inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Deletion: Request erasure of your data (subject to legal retention).
• Opt-out: Withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time.
• Data portability: Receive a structured, machine-readable copy.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@Synthmart.com. We will respond within 30 days. We never discriminate against users who exercise their privacy rights.

7. Children's Privacy

Synthmart does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with data, please contact us immediately, and we will delete it. Our products and services are directed toward an adult audience seeking intentional living.

8. International Data Transfers

Synthmart is based in the United States. If you access our site from outside the US, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the US. We ensure adequate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses) for EU/UK data transfers. By using our website, you consent to this transfer.

9. Email & Marketing Choices

We believe in permission-based communication. When you sign up for our newsletter, you’ll receive mindful inspirations, new arrivals, and exclusive discounts. You can unsubscribe instantly via the “unsubscribe” link in every email or by updating your account preferences. We never share your email with unrelated third parties.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The “Last updated” date at the top indicates when changes were made. We encourage you to review this page periodically. For significant changes, we will notify you via email or a notice on our website.
